How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Adelaide Road is modelled from its 128 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 5PR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 5 Adelaide Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Adelaide Road is a detached house in Ipswich (IP4 5PR). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 406.3% above the 1997 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 75.7% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Adelaide Road is modelled from its 128 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP4 5PR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Adelaide Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Adelaide Road was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Adelaide Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP4 5PR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Adelaide Road is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
